Top 10 Considerations
 
Leading meeting planners say that the right destination for their events must have: 
1. Suitable meeting 
     space
2. Air Accessibility
3. Ground Accessibility
4. Hotel Infrastructure
5. Tourist Attractions
6. Reasonable Cost
7. Security
8. Environmental

Enjoy the Outdoors
Many event organizers recommend outdoor meetings to enhance their clients' satis-faction. 
Outdoor events after dark can be especially motivating, allowing the use of fire, illumination and even fireworks to make a impact.  Tents and awnings can create an intimate feel and are very useful if the weather changes suddenly. Take advan-tage of the great outdoors during your next meeting or event. 
Make It Fun!
Even in a great location, it takes work to pull your team together and make your event truly motivating. Team-Building exercises can stimulate, motivate and otherwise break up the ordinary. Turn your next meeting into something memorable. Let IVI DMC� help you plan great activities for your group.

Greetings!  

When planning a large event or an important meeting, your success may depend on the facilities you choose. Throughout Latin America, there are great meeting facilities in a wide variety of exciting destinations. Consider some of our favorites when planning your next event, meeting or conference in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America or South America.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Convention Center - Paradisus Palma Real
Designed by renowned architect Alvaro Sans, the new facility totals just under 18,000 square feet and includes state-of-the-art A/V capabilities, complete with customer branding and set design. It offers meeting and banqueting rooms with the capacity for up to 1400 people, and space for congresses, exhibitions and tradeshows.

The new convention center is also environmentally friendly thanks to a new "Green meetings program" that ensures efficient energy usage, waste minimization and reduced carbon emissions during all events. More info.
Cancun, Mexico

Among the largest in Latin America, this modern corporate events center was designed for events of 15,000 people and more. Previous events held here include the 2011 United Nations Global Warming Conference and the 2014 Tianguis Mexico tradeshow.

  • The 55,850-square-foot Universal Ballroom which seats up to 5,000 people

San Jose, Costa Rica

Panama City, Panama

Miraflores Locks Visitor Center (Panama Canal)

Only 30 minutes away from most hotels, events of up to 400 people can be held on the 4th floor, overlooking the Miraflores Locks.  A very different and flamboyant venue for events, this recently remodeled property is a great option for an "easygoing" yet classy evening.
